They must know this by now. Anyway, as long as NATO does not set foot in Ukraine, they'll most likely go with a "catastrophe" in one of the Ukrainian nuclear plants. They'll think it's plausible deniability.
A key issue is that the troops have to be more scared of the Zampolits than the enemy. Apparently not working as well here as it did when they were the home team in Stalingrad.
There's a big difference between now and 1942. For one, the Russians know that the Communist Revolution was a crock- Stalin's cannon fodder still had a bit of hope that they would be able to make Marxist-Lenninism work.
Then there's the fact that the National Socialist were fighting an openly expressed ware of extermination against the Slavs. They were going to push them out of their homes, then kill, starve, or enslave anyone left- which kind of sounds like what Putin wants them to do in Ukraine.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.

Ha! That song is played in a fave movie of mine, "KUFFS" with Christian Slater.
If Soviets ICBMs and warheads work as well as their conventional equipment in Ukraine, they would be completely suicidal to think about going nuclear.
Yes, they would hurt western Europe and the USA badly; but we would exterminate them.
And wondering about that is the crux of the problem.
No one sane wants to find out, yet we may not be given that option.
Yet again, when one encounters a rabid dog, the only solution is to shoot it in the head, as soon as practicable.
I guess they don't have political officers shooting Russian infantrymen and tankers in the face when they turn back from sure slaughter anymore.

Actually, the word from Russian prisoners is they have exactly that behind them, they're just not called zampolits anymore.

The scene where he throws the lamp will reside in my gray matter for all time.
